Exploring space is a waste of money? Space exploration has been a huge part of our history; from Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin winning the “space race” withRussia, to the Mars Rovers. There are many different takes on the matter of space exploration and a lot of people feel that the disavantages far out weigh the benefits. Yet, many others believe that space exploration should be continued at all costs and that it has proven to be very beneficial in the past and will continue . To start off, space exploration is wastage of time. Some people think that we have spent many years of time just to study the outer space and it is not actually bringing benefits to our daily life. Besides, space exploration is not a project that will be 100% successful in achieving the main goal. There are too many uncertainties in the project. The technicians will keep trying to launch an astronaut to the space in order to study the mysterious space. If they are lucky enough to discover something new, that will surprise all of us, but it is just in a flirt of time as in we do not actually need the knowledge in solving problems in our daily life. In the other way round, if they have tried thousands of times but end up with nothing, it will be a waste to our precious time. Exploring the space is a risky task; we should not waste so much time trying out the uncertainties. Moreover, space exploration wastes a lot of money. Billions of money has been spending in the space exploration programs since many years ago. At this point of time, people are facing a very serious inflation problem. Our economic is getting poor. In addition they think that to the economic issue, the issue of alternative energies could be another problem. If governments spend most money searching an appropriate planet for people to live in, they will have limited funds to support to investigation of this project. Based on many studies, the amounts of oil may exhaust in this century, therefore if we don't have...

Executive Summary
This case centers on the original 3 Skylab missions that began in 1973 following a successful series of Apollo missions starting in the 1960’s. NASA viewed the Skylab missions as logical successors of the Apollo missions and each of the Skylab missions picked up where the prior one left off. The primary focus of the missions was to determine if humans could in fact live comfortably for extended periods of time in weightless...

...The biggest rivalry between the two superpowers was the advancement in space technology. In 1952, the International Geophysical Year (IGY) was established in which scientists stated that in the time between July 1, 1957 and December 31, 1958, solar activity would be at a high point. The IGY made it so that both the US and the USSR became determined to be the first to reach space, and so the space race was born. During the space race,...

...Spaceexploration has been increasing greatly in the last 50 years. It has allowed us to understand the greatness of the universe and the endless possibilities it offers us. Our planet, Earth, is inhabited by approximately 6 billion humans. This is well over our natural carrying capacity (the amount of resources there are to sustain our population) but with techniques such as farming, we have manipulated our resources to provide us with enough food, but alternate...

Space race between the US and the USSR
Introduction
The Space Race was a mid-to-late 20th century competition between the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (USA) for supremacy in spaceexploration. Between 1957 and 1975, the Cold War rivalry between the two nations focused on attaining firsts in spaceexploration, which were seen as necessary for national security and...

Mars Mission has been a crucial issue all over the world since the beginning of space studies. Mars Mission means that send astronauts with spacecraft to space with purpose of finding new settlement place and searching possibilities of Mars for humanity. Several studies have been done for providing this mission since 1960s. Elkins and Tanton stated, “ Between 1960 and 2004 the USA and Russia launched a total of 46 missions to Mars, 30 of...

which of the two great superpowers, the US or the USSR, was the superior one.
Throughout the Cold War, both of the countries believed that the more nuclear weapons

technologically advanced.
On October 4, 1957, the Soviets had launched that which was the spark for the

In order to fully appreciate the significance of the lunar landing of Apollo 11, one must review the history...
